Yummy treats and fruit and the colorful flowers are a welcomed addition because we are in a severe drought and the freeze has done a final blow to some of our fragile plants. Can’t wait to recover 🌺

One of everything? Wow!

The calla lilies grabbed me and forced me to photograph them! I'm so glad I did.

And I'm doubly glad that you enjoyed my photos!

When I first encountered those lemons, months ago, I thought they had to be oranges! They were too big to be lemons, but I was wrong.

They are very juicy and smell marvelous, especially when they give up their juice!

According to google, your image shows —

The "Midnight Blues" mural by local photographer Bo Bridges, located on the side of Manhattan Beach City Hall. The mural is a massive photograph of the Manhattan Beach Pier at dawn, spanning nearly 100 feet in length. It was unveiled in April 2023 and connects the iconic pier to the City Hall building.
The artist dedicated the mural to the families and children of the community.

Thank You for your "postography".

I just knew that today it was especially bright and I wanted to capture its beauty. And I was in the perfect spot to show it off.

What is that top shot? Reflection, mural, mirage? Magic, for sure. There’s so much gorgeous sunshine and blue sky in your pictures today.

The bakery offerings are only made resistible by the continent’s width between us. I wish I could put on my 7-league boots and hop across. The intricate geometric precision of the Romanesco broccoli inspires awe, but I like to imagine it on my plate, too.

That was a perfect bedtime story, Peggy. Thanks again. Good night!

See Post #18 for answers to your question!

So glad you enjoyed the photos! I'm glad they gave you the perfect bedtime story. But I'm sorry to be answering you so late; you won't get to read what I wrote till Wednesday!

Hope you're sleeping well!
